[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

On May 31, 2023, Anthony Cara of CDLG, PC filed this motion to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff Jianying Wu.  Counsel states that the attorney-client relationship has been compromised and it has been difficult to carry out representation effectively because the client has been uncooperative regarding the continuation of his case.  The hearing was continued from June 13, 2023, so that counsel could submit a revised proposed order.  A revised proposed order was filed on June 20, 2023, which cured the deficiencies identified by the Court in its prior tentative ruling.

Absent a showing of resulting prejudice, an attorney’s request for withdrawal should be granted.  (People v. Prince (1968) 268 Cal.App.2d 398, 406.)  The Court notes that trial in this case is not yet set and finds that no prejudice will result from the granting of this motion.  Accordingly, the motion is GRANTED and effective upon filing of proof of service of the signed order on Plaintiff and all parties who have appeared in the case.  

 

Moving party to give notice.

Dated this 14th day of August 2023
